Stepping Into The Shade Room
On this episode of ‘Stepping Into The Shade Room,’ Raven-Symon steps in to discuss her career, relationships over the years, marriage, and rumors! While speaking with Thembi, Symon opened up about growing up in the spotlight, navigating fame after the success of ‘That’s So Raven‘ and ‘The Cheetah Girls,’ and facing body image concerns, opening up about plastic surgery, beauty trends, and more!
About 16 minutes into the sitdown, Raven-Symon opened up about the pervasiveness of body trends and undergoing two extreme surgeries before the age of 18. Speaking transparently, Symon admitted that she asked to undergo the liposuction. However, she never wanted the breast reduction surgeries.
“I hope that we remember this: when it comes to trends for body… to surgically distress your body and your temple to match a trend, no matter how long it is, hurts my heart for those who have to go through that,” Symon shared for those with similar experiences. “And everything changes I think it’s the grace that you give people that don’t look like the trend at the time that matters…”
About 31 minutes into the interview, Raven-Symon was asked about her former co-star, Orlando Brown. Symon explained that she recently saw a clip where Brown said she wants to be a “man so bad.” In response, Symon explained that his comment was “a little disrespectful.”
“You don’t talk to me, you don’t know the journey that I’m going through especially in my community. It’s not that, actually. There’s a spectrum of human expression, and that’s what I sit on. But again, get your coin, boo. Don’t you get paid for interviews? I’m gonna stay out of his business,” Symone ultimately concluded.
